Recreating uncensored Epstein PDFs from raw encoded attachments (neosmart.net)

There have been a lot of complaints about both the competency and the logic behind the latest Epstein archive release by the DoJ: from censoring the names of co-conspirators to censoring pictures of random women in a way that makes individuals look guiltier than they really are, forgetting to redact credentials that made it possible for all of Reddit to log into Epstein’s account and trample over all the evidence, and the complete ineptitude that resulted in most of the latest batch being corrupted thanks to incorrectly converted Quoted-Printable encoding artifacts, it’s safe to say that Pam Bondi’s DoJ did not put its best and brightest on this (admittedly gargantuan) undertaking. But the most damning evidence has all been thoroughly redacted… hasn’t it? Well, maybe not.

tl;dr there's a bunch of base64-encoded PDFs in the Epstein emails. Buddy had a hard time extracting them because the files are exported as images and the one and ell characters are almost indistinguishable.

Dude eventually managed to distinguish them. 🤷‍♂️

Yeah I read all that and he never even shared any unredacted docs.

Nobody ever has AFAIK.

Was this "poorly redacted" thing just a hoax from the outset? Perhaps even started by MAGA HQ to get us too exhausted by false and innocuous findings so that when the real paydirt hits the screens the swinging voters will be too jaded to care?

No the poorly redacted ones were real, from the first release. They were not redacted by the DOJ, they were old court documents. Afaik all of them were also already released unredacted.

What about decoding each of the areas both ways and test the amount of entropy in each instance?
